The Leading Index uses economic indicators to estimate how the economy is likely to perform in the future. The positive March figure indicates that economic growth is likely to sit well above the norm in the last half of 2017. This echoes good news from the Reserve Bank of Australia on 4 April 2017. Pickups in global trade and industrial production, higher commodity prices and other factors indicate “ongoing moderate growth.” These factors increase business owner optimism.
